So Mitch Hanigers contract (15mm) and a prospect for N. Arenado (21mm) covers 3rd base for the 25-27 season. What do you do with Ben Williamson next year? Move Arenado to 1st to block Tyler Locklear?
Bringing Spencer Torkelson in is unlikely before the summer, Detroit isnt going to throw away a #1 pick after 4yrs for the reasons you stated.
Parting ways with Hanigers contract gives the Mariners NO flexibility to go after Luis Arraez (14mm) when that money would be spent on N. Arenado and they only have about 15mm to spend this winter.
Besides all that you have to get N. Arenado to waive his no trade clause, send out prospects for Spencer Torkelson and SD is going to want something other M. Garver for Luis Arraez.
If Boston wont take Luis Castillo straight up for Triston Casas then there is no way Bal/Chi would trade their #2/#1 prospect for him. And one prospect added to Luis Castillo will get the same reply. Try that trade package in your fantasy league or on your MLB the Show game and report back to tell us how it goes.
You are right that it is simple, doesn't need to be a big complex puzzle to solve but when the owner gives you a budget, players don't want to come here and other teams are not valuing prospects cause almost half the league makes it to October baseball they don't want to give up MLB ready players in the winter.
